As they flail about in an effort to find news ways to appropriate the wealth of their citizens, the Connecticut Legislature is following the example of that economic dynamo, the state of California, and is pondering a 'Digital Download Tax':
The bill, proposed by the General Assembly's Finance, Review and Bonding Committee, would have consumers pay the 6.35% sales tax on any electronic transfer.
Supporters say the bill would level the playing field for brick-and-mortar retailers in the state who are already required to charge Connecticut sales tax to consumers who purchase these products in their stores.
Let's be serious. The legislature doesn't care a bit about 'leveling the playing field'. They have redistribution plans and that takes dough. That's all they really care about.
It's just one more way to pick the pockets of North Greenwich, and give a portion of the loot to their 'bought men' in Bridgeport and the other corruption sink holes. They have a lot in common with NJ in that respect.

sad.. just sad...there will come a day where theyl tax your ira/pension/trusts.....nothing will be safe...jus pisses me off.
I disagree. You can't tax away IRA's when such a large portion of the likely voters is living off of it. Latam has high birth rates.
You don't see the Japanese taxing pensions do you?

tom. i think theyl make it progressive in some way. theyl say if you have more than a million then we tax... theyl find a way to pit the 99% against the 1%...
Obama is going to lose like Carter did. then we'll get three or four more Republican terms of varying goodness - call it 12 years minimum. At that point we will have either addressed the majority of the problem or the government will have collapsed.
This 99% BS ends with Barry. (At least as a viable political concept - there will always be some dimwit who believes it will be different next time.)
tom...id also say japan has been able to get to 200% debt/gdp . so they have printed more and not needed to tax everything... theyve gotten away with that cause their people buy 99% of all their debt. that wont happen here cause of diversity.. hell california is now 50% hispanic/asian... so i think its going to be harder to get that much debt.if they head there then theyl also tax everything.if we put the brakes on then maybe we dont tax it all.
Don't worry, the Fed will buy it. They have more than enough cause to believe that inflation isn't really here.
It's a technical issue. We measure inflation and deflation domestically. Deflation is a domestic effect but inflation is now global so the number we call inflation (typically CPI) is under reporting it. The number will say 4 it will really be 8.
We'll have lower rates for a good long while.

Tom,
There was an interesting blog post at www.ace.mu.nu earlier this week on how difficult a Reagan/Carter type blowout would be given the current US demographics. Given the current trajectory of the US, I'd say ANY win is a landslide.

Re: NJ case, the MSNBC online polling is running 60-40% that YES, 10 years would be a just punishment in the Rutgers case. WTF.
